I think that putting in the example that you generously provided about your own team's experience would help the audience lock onto the topic at hand. Do you have any video of this mechanism in action? I tried searching thebluealliance for it but had a bit of a tough time finding this device opening the Portcullis.

Again, always love to see how engaged people are! I'll be riveted to my screen later tonight when I get around to watching one of Karthik's old videos (These are posted on Youtube, right?).

Best Regards,

Here's an example from the FiM Southfield district event during autonomous in match 63. The large, 4 inch wheels added to the ball intake mechanism are used to raise the portcullis during auton period.
